Another $100,000 - to be used specifically to purchase furniture, equipment, computers and books for the children's library - came from various fund-raisers that residents held in 1990, for the town's bicentennial celebration, Higgins said. The renovation delays have caused some complaints from patrons, Lucas says. Residents can use the computers and small library at the high school, which has newspapers but doesn't have a large book or periodical selection.... what a disgrace!

Guest board of ed Posted February 3, 2006 Report Share Posted February 3, 2006 I believe that the Harrison Board of Ed is appointed position - therefore this allows the town ass kissers to hold yet another position within the community. If you want my personal opinion, these positions should be elected by the people of the town WHO SEND THEIR CHILDREN TO THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS. So they can vote on the person who is responsible for making decisions on behalf of their children and their education. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest You make it sound easy Posted February 3, 2006 Report Share Posted February 3, 2006 QUOTE(guest @ Feb 2 2006, 02:21 PM)Today's Journal headline is amazing, Imagine having the highest per pupil cost in Hudson County (16 G's per) and receiving such poor scores on the DOE report card. Each member of the Board of ED. should resign immediately. Maybe they should release 2 of the 3 superintendants they have. That would cut 250 K in tax payers Cabbage.

Guest Tom Powell Posted February 4, 2006 Report Share Posted February 4, 2006 What we must do is attend a Board of Education meeting, request the Salary guide for the district's Administrators and supervisors from the Board secretary. Start with the Superintendents office, Building Principals and Assistant Principals, Guidance offices and see what these clowns are earning and what little they do.If we can't see the salaries, drop a dime on Christie's office.
